For generations, the Citroën 2CV has brought together a community of people who share a passion that seems hard to explain if you are not a part of it. They are eccentrics, adventurers, collectors, travellers and life artists who together form a curious sociological phenomenon.
Over four years, photographer Jérôme Wassenaar drove many thousands of kilometers in his own 2CV, in search of Deuchistes – those special people who give this car its remarkable life. They met in unlikely places, from meticulously organised collections to grimy back-alley garages. Doors that would normally remain closed were opened, offering a unique and often intimate glimpse into their lives.
Deuchistes is about people who live the 2CV rather than drive it. Richly photographed by Jerome and vividly told by Jeroen Booij, this book offers a rare portrait of a global subculture, its characters, rituals and friendships. This is a book about a car, perhaps. But above all, it is a book about the people it brings together.
